This chapter is about what happened with Boba while the last chapter was going on. Thanks for the suggestion in the review to have the bounty be on rouge Jedi Ahsoka Tano.

Boba walked down the streets of Mos Eisley, keeping a sharp eye out for the address his contact gave him. After a long, sandy walk, Boba finally made it.
He entered the door. On the outside this place looked like a regular Tattooine hovel, but on the inside it looked like it could of passed as a Naboo hotel. He walked up to a reception desk where a scantly clad Twi'lek secretary stood. Good thing I didn't bring the others, Boba thought.
"I'm here to talk to J'dar Roshen. He called me about a bounty." Boba said.
"Oh. Okay. Your name?" The Twi'lek asked.
"Boba Fett." He stated, half expecting a reaction.
"Right this way." She said, as she walked him down a hall with polished floors. Boba didn't even know those existed on Tattooine! Whoever this person was, they were rich.
"In here, Mr. Fett." She said pulling aside a curtain. Boba walked into the room. It had red carpeting, cream walls with gorgeous artwork on them, and in the center of the room was a circular bed with pillows in the center. Some of the pillows were scattered on the floor around the bed as if they were casually tossed aside as not suitable to sleep on. Reclining on the bed was a man clad in what looked like regal robes. Probably stolen, Boba assumed.
"Welcome Boba Fett." J'dar Roshen said. Boba noticed he dropped the 'Mr.' to make himself seem higher class.
"You wanted to consult me about a bounty?" Boba asked.
"Yes. It is on a rouge Jedi, perhaps you know the name Ahsoka Tano?" He asked putting an emphasis on the name. Boba knew her. She had been on Florrum when Aurra Sing betrayed him. She had chased after and inevitably destroyed his father's ship Slave I and presumably Aurra in the process. But all bounty hunters knew Aurra was back in business.
"I see you thinking, memories of the Jedi?" J'dar asked. Boba didn't know whether his to was curious, mocking, or both.
"How much is it paying and are there any other details I should know?" Boba asked, trying to give the impression he had other places to be. Which wouldn't be a complete lie, he eventually had to go get the others from the cantina before they killed themselves.
"I will be paying the generous amount of 9,000,000 credits." J'dar said, with a smile showing off some gold teeth.
"And the other details ..." Boba left off, prompting him to go on.
"Well the bounty is on the planet Mon Cala, hiding in one of the Islands." He explained.
"Anything else?" Boba asked , getting slightly annoyed at J'dar's one-topic-a-question answering system.
"Actually yes. I have hired some other bounty hunters for this mission. You know, some friendly competition. I don't really care who brings it back, I just want her dead or alive." J'dar explained.
"So all the other hunters have a head start?" Boba asked angrily. This guy was really ticking him off.
"No. I will call you all tomorrow at the same time to signal the start of the hunt." He answered, picking up a berry from a tray sitting next to him and plopping it in his mouth.
"What if someone leaves before then?" Boba asked.
"I have taken the liberty of placing tracking beacons on all of your ships. I have informed every one that if someone leaves early or destroys their beacon, and I'll know if they do, then they will be disqualified." J'dar finished proudly.
"Well, thank you. I'll be leaving now." Boba said, turning to the curtained door.
"Do you want me to have Ms. Lidia walk you out?" He asked.
"I can walk myself out, thanks." Boba said, walking out the door.
Boba walked out onto the street. Now he had to go find the others and tell them about the bounty, before anyone else does.
So there you have it! Please review you comments, questions, concerns, and suggestions. Thank you for reading!
Coming up next: Boba might loose some team members (or not) and an argument breaks out at the cantina.
